Wrist Injury Strengthening Exercise (WISE) Versus Usual Care Advice for Improving Pain and Function

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether a therapist-guided exercise program helps people aged 50 and older recover better, in terms of pain and function, after a wrist fracture, compared to the usual care advice they would normally receive. The main question it aims to answer is: • Will participants who receive a therapist-supervised exercise program have better improvement in pain and function, as measured by the Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation questionnaire, six months after their injury? Researchers will compare these participants with those who receive usual care, which includes advice on self-management, to see if the supervised exercise program leads to greater recovery. Participants will: * Either receive supervised exercise, with a therapy session of up to 60 minutes and two additional sessions of up to 30 minutes each in addition to usual-care, or they will receive solely usual-care, consisting of advice on self-management. * Complete questionnaires electronically at baseline, 3-months, and 6-months.

Inclusion Criteria: * Distal radius fracture treated surgically or non-surgically * Willing and able to give informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Injury is more than two months old * There is evidence that the patient would be unable to participate in therapy or a self-guided exercise program provided by a participating center or adhere to study procedures (including cognitive impairment and fracture/surgery complications such as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) * No e-mail address to receive electronic questionnaires * Open fractures with a Gustilo \& Anderson grading \>1
